Synopsis by Paul Droesch
The avenging swordsman of 1820s California defended the citizenry of Fortress de Los Angeles from a tyrannical commandant and made the sign of the Z on any who would cross him. The Disney series was preceded by numerous Hollywood Zorros (Douglas Fairbanks and Tyrone Power among them), and later versions starred Frank Langella (1974), George Hamilton (the 1981 comedy Zorro the Gay Blade), and Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas (1998). Duncan Regehr starred in a 1990-93 cable series.
